Blogmas Day 18 | Bargain Buys for the last minute shopper

Friday, 18 December 2015

Aloha! I've noticed that quite a few shops have got some big reductions on right now so I thought it would be handy to do a little post of where to look if you've still got some shopping to do this weekend!

1. New Look. They've got up to 50% off seasonal offers including a selection of coats, partywear and shoes, as well as buy one get one free on selected jewellery. Perfect to pick up a gift for a friend, sister, mum etc.

2. ASOS. They have up to 40% off winter warmers. They've got a great selection of coats, boots, knitwear etc included and it's for men and women!

3. Primark! They've currently got reductions across most departments in the store. They have reduced accessories, Christmas jumpers, knitwear and menswear. Lets face it, there's not really anyone you couldn't find a present for in Primark! (except maybe a cat?)

4. Marks & Spencer. There's 30% off selected items across the whole store right now! Big bargains to be had and again, you really could find something for everyone there! 

5. Very.co.uk. They have 3 for 2 on selected gifts, 50% of selected fragrances, 40% off selected brands, 50% off selected watches and jewellery, and many more! And what's better, they promise if you order before 10pm on 23rd December, your order will be there in time for Christmas or your order is free!

6. Accessorize. They have a seasonal sale on with up to 50% off selected items including Pj's, socks, pet clothing, and beauty products. Perfect for bargain stocking fillers!

Hopefully this is helpful to those of you braving the shops this weekend! I will definitely be staying at home!

A little slice of November

Monday, 1 December 2014

It seems like just yesterday I was writing my October roundup post! But here we are at the 1st of December! So here is my round up of this month! 

1 & 2 - November saw me making a little trip north, to Aberdeen to see my best friend! We had a lovely weekend catching up and doing the things we love. I also got to meet her lovely fella! 
3- I also got most of my Christmas shopping done! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work though! 
4- I got my grades back for the 2 assignments I completed in October! Both were very good marks so I treated myself to my favourite chocolate to celebrate!
5- Coffee was very much needed in November to get me through those dark winter mornings and coursework! This was my first starbucks red cup! 
6- The month wouldn't be complete without a picture of Smudge! 

1- My dissertation proposal was due in near the end of the month! It resulted in a very late night, and me being 2 hours late for work then next morning. Oops
2- I made my first trip to Primark in quite a few months. These cosy slippers were my favourite purchase! You can find my Primark Haul Here 
3- I also made a little trip to IKEA where I bought more candles! 
4- And finally, here is Edinburgh all lit up for Christmas. I've already been to the winter wonderland twice and I'm sure there will be many more visits to come! 

So that was November! I'm sure it will be time to write the next one before I know it! But for now it's time to get excited for Christmas!!

Christmas Wishlist #1

Friday, 28 November 2014

Hey everyone! So I've been browsing the net recently for gift ideas for Christmas and of course I've spotted numerous things I quite fancy for myself! So I've put them all together in a little wishlist post!
1- Meow PJ's- Forever 21 £12.95. I have a pair similar to these which I got in Forever 21 in New York. They are the comfiest PJ's I own so I'd love another pair!
2- Cat Nap PJ's- ASDA £10. Can you tell that cat PJ's are my favourites yet. I have so many already but you can never have too many sets right? 
3- Tartan Leggings- New Look £17.99. Being from Scotland, loving tartan clothing is a given. I don't actually own any tartan leggings so these would be a welcome addition to my wardrobe.
4- Ugg Slippers- Currently £56 in John Lewis. John Lewis are doing a price match at the moment on hundreds of items and these are included! I've had my eye on these for absolute months so hopefully I'll find them under my tree this year! 

1- Hot Toddy Shower Gel- Lush £17.95 for 500g. Of course the smaller bottles are cheaper, but as this is a limited edition showed gel, you need to stock up for the year ahead! 
2- Snow Fairy Shower Gel- Lush £13.95 for 500g. I swear the price has gone up on this this year? I can't remember how much I paid last year for my big bottle but I didn't think it was almost £14? Anyway this is my all time favourite scent so I need to get some to stock up on it! I've currently got none left so this one is a must have! 
3- Morphy Richards Soup Maker- Very.co.uk £49. If you've been reading my blog lately you'll see I've been on a bit of a health kick. However, I'm not a huge fan of vegetables. If they are in a soup though I will eat anything! So this little machine will hopefully make me eat a bit more veg! Also it makes soup in just 21 minutes! Perfect for popping on whilst getting ready for work in the morning! 
4- I heart Cats t-shirt- crazycatladyclothing.com $26.99. I don't even know how I came across this website but I just love this t-shirt! It is just so me! I need to have this. 

So there you have it, my little christmas wishlist! I'm sure there will be many more things I come across in the coming weeks so expect some more posts along these lines from me! 
I'd love to see what's on your wish lists too! Leave me a link in the comments box below!

TheSundayPost

Sunday, 23 November 2014

Hello Everyone! Another relatively unexciting week this week! Here is my roundup of this week in photos! 

This week I had to hand in the research proposal for my dissertation! Of course I had left it til the last minute! Copious amounts of coffee were required but I got it handed in on time! Now to await the results! 

This week I had a little trip to Primark to pick up a few things for Christmas! I've not got too much to buy now! I picked up these cosy slippers for myself since my ones are practically ruined! These are very similar to the Ugg slippers I've had my eye on but at a fraction of the price! They will keep my toes cosy until I can save up for the real ones! 

As usual, most of this week was also spent at work! This cute sainsbury's carrier bag brightened up my morning! 

                                     
All the presents I had ordered online all arrived on the same day! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work! :( 

On Saturday, I went to visit my mum for a few hours. She's heading off to Thailand next week so I was helping her with booking travel insurance online! Smudge was also trying to help! Poor Smudge has been balding on his tummy recently so unfortunately a trip to the vets is in order this week :( 

Today we headed out to Ikea. I was only supposed to be going for a lamp for my sitting room but I couldn't resist these scented candles! They were only 95p each and burn for 25 hours! That's pretty good value for money! 

So that is about all for this week! Next week will be a little more relaxed! Uni teaching is finished for Christmas (we still have 2 essays to hand in though!) so at least we get a little lie in! 
Have a great week everyone!
